- Get in the spirit with a derby hat. These wide-brimmed fashion statements have become synonymous with the event, so wearing one will really get you in the spirit.
- Make your pick. Check out the derby website to read up on this year’s contenders and maybe even make a few bets. Word is Classic Empire is favored to win.
- Perfect your mint julep recipe. For the iconic Kentucky Derby cocktail all you’ll need lots of spearmint, sugar and as much bourbon as you can handle.
- Party. The Valley’s largest Kentucky Derby party, The Second Annual Derby Dayclub, is happening this Saturday at Turf Paradise.
- If you’re serious about actually watching the event, TV is probably your best option. Channel 12 will be showing the festivities from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – so even if you do attend one of the parties across the Valley, it’s likely you’ll still have plenty of time to catch part of the show.
